Title: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (Between #1)

Author: April Genevieve Tucholke

You stop fearing the devil when you’re holding his hand…

Nothing
much exciting rolls through Violet White’s sleepy, seaside town…until
River West comes along. River rents the guesthouse behind Violet’s
crumbling estate, and as eerie, grim things start to happen, Violet
begins to wonder about the boy living in her backyard. Is River just a
crooked-smiling liar with pretty eyes and a mysterious past? Or could he
be something more? Violet’s grandmother always warned her about the
Devil, but she never said he could be a dark-haired boy who takes naps
in the sun, who likes coffee, who kisses you in a cemetery...who makes
you want to kiss back. Violet’s already so knee-deep in love, she can’t
see straight. And that’s just how River likes it.

Blending faded
decadence and the thrilling dread of gothic horror, April Genevieve
Tucholke weaves a dreamy, twisting contemporary romance, as gorgeously
told as it is terrifying—a debut to watch.

Charley
Redford was just an ordinary girl until Jake Caplin moved to her small
town in Indiana and convinced her she was extraordinary. Almost from day
one Jake pulled Charley into the deep and promised he was right there
with her. But when a tragic incident darkened Jake’s life he waded out
into the shallows and left Charley behind.

Almost four years
later Charley thinks she’s moved on. That is until she takes a study
year abroad in Edinburgh and bumps into none other than Jake Caplin at a
party with his new girlfriend. The bad-boy-turned-good attempts to
convince Charley to forgive him, and as her best friend starts spending
time with Jake’s, Charley calls a truce, only to find herself tumbling
back into a friendship with him.

As they grow closer, the spark
between them flares and begins playing havoc with their lives and
relationships. When jealousy and longing rear their destructive heads,
Charley and Jake struggle to come to grips with what they mean to one
another.

And even if they work it out, there is no guarantee Charley will ever trust Jake to lead her back into the deep…

On Earth,
seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander was taught to never peek, but if she
hopes to survive life on her new planet, Loge, her eyes must never shut.
Because Zeus will do anything to save the Ancients from their dying
planet, and he has a plan.

Thousands of humans crossed over to
Loge after a poisonous neurotoxin released into Earth's atmosphere,
nearly killing them. They sought refuge in hopes of finding a new life,
but what they became were slaves, built to wage war against their home
planet. That is, unless Ari and Jackson can stop them. But on Loge,
nothing is as it seems...and no one can be trusted.

Freya Beauchamp is
trapped in 1692, in Salem of all places, with no recollection of her
past. A powerful enemy spell has sent her spiraling away so that she is
separated by centuries from her mother, Joanna, and sister, Ingrid. This
is not good news for a twenty-first-century witch. Not to mention the
immediate threat she faces from the wealthy and influential Putnam
family. When little Annie Putnam is one of the first to make accusations
of witchcraft, her landowner father jumps at the opportunity to
consolidate his power and expand his holdings in Puritan Salem Town. If
Freya is caught using magic, she will be forced to relive the witch
trials, and this time, even her immortality is in question.

Meanwhile,
twenty-first-century North Hampton has its own snares. Joanna and Norm
consult the Oracle for advice, and Freddie and his pixie allies search
for a missing totem that could reopen the passages of time and help
bring his sister home. When Ingrid bumps into an old flame, she finds
that her new love for Detective Matt Noble is in doubt.

Moving between past and present, Winds of Salem's dizzying plot twists and page-turning suspense is sure to bewitch fans old and new.

An undead serial killer comes for DJ in this thrilling third installment of Suzanne Johnson’s Sentinels of New Orleans series

The mer feud has been settled, but life in South Louisiana still has more twists and turns than the muddy Mississippi.

New
Orleanians are under attack from a copycat killer mimicking the crimes
of a 1918 serial murderer known as the Axeman of New Orleans. Thanks to a
tip from the undead pirate Jean Lafitte, DJ Jaco knows the attacks
aren’t random—an unknown necromancer has resurrected the original Axeman
of New Orleans, and his ultimate target is a certain blonde wizard.
Namely, DJ.

Combatting an undead serial killer as troubles pile
up around her isn’t easy. Jake Warin’s loup-garou nature is spiraling
downward, enigmatic neighbor Quince Randolph is acting weirder than
ever, the Elders are insisting on lessons in elven magic from the
world’s most annoying wizard, and former partner Alex Warin just turned
up on DJ’s to-do list. Not to mention big maneuvers are afoot in the
halls of preternatural power.

Suddenly, moving to the Beyond as Jean Lafitte’s pirate wench could be DJ’s best option.

Only Aaron and his fellow Nephilim can protect the world from Satan’s wrath in this riveting finale to the New York Times bestselling The Fallen series.Satan
is determined to create his own Hell on Earth and has unleashed
unfathomable chaos into the world. Cut off from Heaven, humanity’s only
hope for salvation rests with eighteen-year-old Aaron and the other
Nephilim who fight by his side. These angelic warriors will protect
civilization and restore God’s favor no matter the cost. But there can
be only one champion—and defeat is eternal.The battle lines have been drawn. Armageddon is here.

Lillia, Kat, and Mary
had the perfect plan. Work together in secret to take down the people
who wronged them. But things didn’t exactly go the way they’d hoped at
the Homecoming Dance.

Not even close.

For now, it looks
like they got away with it. All they have to do is move on and pick up
the pieces, forget there ever was a pact. But it’s not easy, not when
Reeve is still a total jerk and Rennie’s meaner than she ever was
before.

And then there’s sweet little Mary…she knows there’s
something seriously wrong with her. If she can’t control her anger,
she’s sure that someone will get hurt even worse than Reeve was. Mary
understands now that it’s not just that Reeve bullied her—it’s that he
made her love him.

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, burn for a
burn. A broken heart for a broken heart. The girls are up to the task.
They’ll make Reeve fall in love with Lillia and then they will crush
him. It’s the only way he’ll learn.

It seems once a fire is lit, the only thing you can do is let it burn..

Morgan
and Magnus Grimm return from their search for Skuld, Norn of the
Future, only to find that she’s been living under their noses this whole
time. Now that Morgan finally has the woman of his dreams within reach,
nothing—not amnesia, not Odin, not even his father’s death—will prevent
him from claiming the Fate he’s wanted for centuries.

Skylar
Kincade is lost among these crazy people who swear that they’re the old
Norse gods. But…there’s something that strikes a chord deep within her.
Something from which the hot, redheaded Morgan wants to protect her.

But
when the memories burst free, there’s no softening the devastating
blow. For overstepping her bounds and changing their fates to save their
lives, her powers were stripped away, leaving her as just another Norn.

And
it seems more punishment is coming down: one of Logan’s children is
missing. Skye is determined to do her part to make it right—by
journeying all the way to Valhalla to meet a fate from which Morgan may
not be able to save her.

Warning: This novel contains explicit
nookie on a kitchen table, graphic language in one or more dialects, and
a Fate worth living for.

It’s 1915, and
sixteen-year-old Lora Jones is finishing up her first year as a charity
student at Iverson, a prestigious, gothic boarding school on England’s
southern coast. While she’s always felt different from everyone around
her, now she finally knows why: She is a drákon, a rare, enchanted being
with astonishing magical abilities.

As war hits Britain’s
shores, and Lora reels from an unimaginable loss, she finds that her
powers come with grave and dangerous responsibilities. At the request of
Armand Louis, the darkly mysterious boy whose father owns Iverson, Lora
will spend her summer at his lavish estate. To help the war effort—and
to keep Lora by his side—Armand turns his home into a military hospital,
where Lora will serve as a nurse. For Armand is inescapably drawn to
her—bound to her by heart-deep secrets and a supernatural connection
that runs thicker than blood.

Yet while Lora tries to sort out
her own feelings toward Armand, fate offers an unexpected surprise. Lora
discovers there is another drákon, a prisoner of war being held in
Germany. And that only she, with her newly honed Gifts, will be able to
rescue him.

With Armand, Lora will cross enemy lines on an
incredible mission—one that could bond her to Armand forever, or
irrevocably tear them apart.

Beautifully written, deeply romantic, and filled with daring adventure and magic, The Deepest Night is a mesmerizing novel of the enduring pull of destiny, and the eternal strength of love.
